  1. Was Carrington particularly successful as a recruiter at TCU? I don't follow TCU recruiting close enough to know who they closed because of him. It's one thing to sell the Texas Longhorns. It's gonna be a lot harder to sell Arizona State to kids that care more "as much" about football as:
  2. He was also the first high-profile recruit I remember to reclassify and enroll a year early. I think it'll be interesting to track the success of guys that reclassify. Didn't work out for this guy. Didn't work out for Donnell Harris. Didn't work out for Tony Grimes. TBD on Ewers, Lebbeus Overton, and Desmond Ricks. Those are the higher-profile guys I remember reclassifying.
  3. I celebrate both pelted and unpelted snatch. #AllSnatchMatters
  4. Most coaches have the tact not to kick the kids in the balls on their way out the door. What an asshole.
  5. It's big enough to have a multi-level parking lot in which one might choose tokyo-drift the fuck out of.
  6. There it is. We can go ahead and put this one to bed before we spend 2 pages discussing the subjectivity of "small town/big city" pretending that it's an objective measurement.
  7. Thanks. Just picked one up for my old man for christmas. His shitty off-brand model shit the bed a few weeks ago.
  8. That’s still a $7 fast-food breakfast taco with a packet of Pace thick n chunky salsa.
  9. Oh, see, this old thought it was the other way around. Whatever. Sorry for the confusion.
  10. EDIT - I'm dumb. But leaving it up to be appropriately ridiculed and for context. JT confirming the Billingsley rumors is pretty hilarious
  11. New season of Slow Horses starts Friday. I enjoyed the first season. But what I really want to know is when Severance is coming back... (I know, I know. Late next year or early 2024.)
  12. If this mustard company blows up they may double down on their partnership as well. They're interesting parallels because I think Vuori was a startup when they first partnered with that LSU gymnast, and now they've raised like $400 million. I was thinking about it from the angle of small local companies who see obvious partnerships based on something as ridiculous as Bijan/Dijan name similarities. That sponsorship can result in substantial exposure for what I guess would be a relatively modest investment. Obviously Bijan is a unicorn. But this is probably the model for a case study on how/why NIL can be beneficial for both parties. Regarding Lambo, my understanding is that the sponsorship was with the Austin dealership. Since it's resulted in national exposure, I wonder if the local dealership can go back to corporate and negotiate a portion of the funds they paid to be reimbursed due to the national exposure it generated.
  13. Has there been a more lucrative sponsorship for the corporation than "Bijan Mustardson"? I can't imagine they paid a remarkable amount for his endorsement, and they've earned regular mentions/impressions on nationally-televised games. But even if they paid $1m+, it seems the PR they've received is worth it. To me, these are the kinds of synergies and partnerships that make NIL interesting.
  14. “They pick up the blitz” right as Barron burns the RB
  15. Run the fucking ball every goddamn play
  16. I’m surprised that wasn’t targeting
  17. Throw that shit away dude. Jesus fuck.
